Outdoor procession on a dirt courtyard along a red carpet runner. A central man with long dark hair and a crown-like headpiece wears a red-brown robe, layered gold and bead necklaces and a large white flower garland, walking under a large orange parasol with multicoloured fringe. Several saffron-robed attendants flank him, one holding a flower-decorated tray or offering, another a wrapped bundle. To the right an older bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala walks barefoot. Behind them are a red-roofed building with hanging paper decorations, yellow flowering shrubs, palm trees and a wooded hill under a clear sky.
